Well, I would have chosen the stuffed cabbage, but the potatoes and carrots are throwing me off. They don't go together.
And it was a good night to skip, the night before.

Last night would have been a tough choice for me, I may have done stuffed cabbage.
The night before I would have had spaghetti, that's my weakness.

Dipo, I like sour cream with my stuffed cabbage. If I asked for a side of it, would they give it to me?

LOL, I love your comments. They usually have sour cream available, so yes, Grooch.
Right now we are "suffering" from a whipped cream shortage, LOL.

LOL Grooch is completely correct!
My food primarily consists of frozen dinners, currently, since hubby's taste buds have changed, and we don't know what he likes and doesn't, I don't want to make a dinner and have him not like it.
Also, he doesn't do leftovers like he used to, so he'll eat something, and it will just be "ok" so he doesn't want it again.

That's a bummer Scooterrific. I understand not wanting to waste the food, it costs so much now.

Classic pot roast tonight. Mrs Mack is on a business trip to Washington, DC so my son and I are having pot roast. Mrs Mack doesn’t like pot roast. Helps the weather has cooled off here so only a high of 66F today which is perfect roast weather.

LOL, I had the chicken but the enchilada did look really good.
The chicken was a leg and thigh so I got extra mac/cheese, then saved the thigh and some mac/cheese for lunch today ... Yum
OH and I guess the whipped cream shortage is over so I had apple cobbler with whipped cream for dessert.

Ok. I tried pot roast in a slow cooker rather than my standard oven method. To be honest it was not good. I will never do that again. Could have been the chuck roast as everything else was exactly the same. Disappointed. Ugh.

Mack, I do not care for pot roast at all. My boyfriend loves it. He would always make it in the slow cooker and it would be dry as a rock.
Years ago, Lakecat posted a slow cooker pot roast recipe in the cooking thread. I think it was call Mississippi Pot Roast. You throw the pot roast in the slow cooker along with a packet of ranch dressing mix, a packet of something else, some peppers from a jar and butter. It come out really good and moist. I can actually eat it. You can Google the recipe. And Lake at cuts the butter in half.

The crockpot pot roast was okay but not my best. I should have stayed with cooking it in the oven. Used the exact same ingredients, etc., but it seemed dry and lacked the flavor I usually get. Could have been the chuck roast too but all in all I was disappointed. No more slow cooking for me.

Mack, sorry yours didn't turn out the way you like.
I do love a Oven roasted pot roast with potatoes, carrots and onions. Let it slow cook for a hour or two, depending on the size - my roasts were small since I was cooking for one, the smell wafting thru the house! Heaven.
Then leftover roast beef sandwiches for days, LOL.
